Ok…after watching the episode Inconceivable, I had to write something for it. Personally, I felt a bit shafted – after only 2 seconds of airtime did we find out Olivia's 'Big Secret'. I felt something was lacking…or missing. This is how it should have been if I were ever to write for SVU…consider it an alternate version of the episode.
Too Late
Chapter 1
"Uh-oh…looks like dad's pissed." Olivia murmured as she glanced up from her desk. Walking out of Cragen's office was the Chief of Detectives himself. And he didn't look too happy either. Elliot, who was leaning over his desk at his computer, looked over his shoulder then back to Liv.
"What I do now?" he said with a smirk and a shrug of his shoulders. Olivia raised an eyebrow and smiled. How she missed the light banter between the two of them. Glancing at the captain who was now approaching with the Chief by his side, she slowly stood and shoved her hands in her pockets. Elliot straightened himself up and turned to face the two men.
"The Chief has asked us to make this case a top priority. Highly sensitive."
"That's no problem Captain. What is it?" Olivia and Elliot were now standing side by side ready to move to find whatever monster that needed to be caught.
Taking a hesitant breath, Cragen shoved his hands in his pockets and cleared his throat.
"Stolen embryos."
Both detectives looked at each other with perplexed stares then stared back at Cragen. Putting his hands on his hips, Elliot spoke first.
"Excuse me, what were stolen?" Before Cragen could say anything, the Chief of Detectives stepped up.
"A embryos. A hundred of them."
"Uh…with all do respect sir, how is this an SVU case?"
"These are children that have been kidnapped. Future children. And we need to get them back. Now." With that, the Chief turned on his heel and marched out of room. Olivia and Elliot glanced at each other. All right then…Elliot was the first to react.
"Captain…" Cragen was already on the move.
"You'll get the files sent over. You don't have much time. You better get a move on."
Cragen went to his office signalling the end of the discussion. Turning once more to Liv, Elliot said as he sat back down in his chair.
"What? Do I have bad breath?"
